How to make Christmas chiffon log cake

If you are married, you can definitely enjoy the "wife's food" treatment. But what should you do when your wife is not at home? Perhaps many men would choose fast food, instant noodles, etc. But what if you could do it yourself? Wouldn’t this picture be beautiful? I believe your wife would also like to see it. So, let me introduce to you how to make Christmas chiffon log cake.

1. Let the cake eggs cool down at room temperature. Beat egg yolks and sugar with a whisk until fluffy and white.

2.1 Sift cake flour and cocoa powder, add into the batter and stir until no powder particles are visible. This is the chocolate batter.

3.2 Pour salad oil into the cake and stir, then add warm milk and continue stirring.

4.121 Scoop a spoonful of meringue into the chocolate batter, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the batter along the edge of the mixing bowl to mix well. Pour back into the meringue mixing bowl.

5.212 The cake oven starts to preheat at 190℃. Use a whisk to stir the egg whites continuously. When bubbles start to form, add the sugar in two portions and continue stirring until the meringue does not flow down even if you turn it over.

6. Use your right hand to stir the cake along the edge of the mixing bowl towards the middle, and turn the mixing bowl with your left hand. Don't stir for too long or the bubbles will disappear. When done, pour the batter into an ungreased chiffon pan, then lift it up and tap lightly on the table to make the large bubbles inside disappear.

7.Put the cake in the preheated oven and bake at 170℃ for 40 minutes. After completion, lift the cake with the mold about 20 cm off the table and drop it 2-3 times, then turn it upside down for 1 hour to cool.

8. Use a demoulding knife to run along the inner, outer edges and bottom of the cake to remove it smoothly.

9. Chocolate Buttercream Frosting: Let the unsalted butter soften at room temperature, melt the chocolate over hot water, mix the two together and let it cool slightly.

10. Pour the fresh cream and sugar into the chocolate buttercream and beat with a whisk until it becomes a frosty texture.

11. Use a spatula to evenly spread the chocolate cream on the chiffon cake.

12. Use a serrated scraper to cut out the shape of the tree trunk according to your preference.

13.Finally, stick chocolate chips on the bottom of the cake and put the most important Santa Claus on it.
